Contempt of court test in Kentucky coal strike case
The Kentucky coal field cases in Mount Sterling raise free press issues as Judge Henry P. Prewitt orders The Knoxville News-Sentinel rep barred until apology. Lawyer Baker argues the measure is vicarious punishment, while the Minnesota precedent upholds that prior restraint is unconstitutional. The Mobile Register notes the ruling hinges on freedom of the press and future publication safeguards.

Cotton and the foreign market influence on prices
The South and its representatives in Congress fail to recognize that American cotton prices hinge on foreign demand. Exports to Europe have picked up with 90,000 bales more sold since Aug 1, yet prices remain stable within an 80 point band around six and a half cents. European purchases stay crucial. Britain and Continental buyers have recovered to about 87 percent of last year’s level as of early 1932, with Japan and China boosting export demand. If European buying remains strong, last year’s volume may be surpassed in 30 to 60 days. The article stresses that the grower’s price is determined largely by European demand, tying welfare to European economic conditions, a point Congress seems to overlook.

No Cotton Law in Alabama Declared Unenforceable
Selma Times-Journal argues against compulsory cotton acreage laws in Alabama. Governor Miller says such a law would be unconstitutional and unenforceable, offering no real market impact. Promoters’ promises to cut acreage are futile, comparable to thistledown in the wind.

Acreage Cut Forecast by E F Creekmore
E F Creekmore general manager of the American Cooperative Association estimates a 10 to 15 percent cut in cotton acreage this year. He projects a crop around 11,000,000 bales but notes the figure is speculative. Weather remains the key factor and farmers show little enthusiasm to plant if prices stay weak. Much land may remain idle or shift to other crops.
