Democracy pressures fuels a global struggle and Palm Sunday contrast
A broad editorial survey notes England and France embark cautiously on war footing against Hitler while Hitler and Mussolini adjust tactics. It cites the potential for peace if Berlin abandons extreme aims and highlights Palm Sunday as a counterpoint to war. It also reports on roiling U.S. political chatter about 1940 candidates, the death of Rev. J. M. Hilliard, and High Point NC Red Cross pellagra clinic plans. It closes urging democratic faith and the National Conference of Christians and Jews to counter prejudice.
