They had five sons and all of them en- the 6,000-ton light cruiser Juneau that was | sunk in the battle off the Solomons last No- | vember. iat was tragic news for Mr, and Mrs. | | Sullivan, and a Key Wester, in commenting } on it, Sullivan boys wanted to be w- | gether, all of them being on the same ship | wes something like putting all of one’s eggs in the same be { That thought, we think, is well taken. One may say he feels sure that, *had the | | Sullivan bo: different branches of the military services, some of them probably would have survived the war. As it was, only one stroke of fate | y to snuff out the five lives, but, probably was necess been killed. To that assertion, a philosopher may | reply that fate kept them together, but that | view is altogether beside the point to one who believes that a person fashions his own | life under the exercise of his own will pow- er. Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan now realize that, had their boys been separated, some mighi, have returned home after the war. That realization will cause remorse, «and The Citizen feels that the hearts of all Aimer- | icans will go ovt to the parents of the five | ycuths who made the “supreme sacrifice” for their country at the same time. Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan should be borne in mind by other Americans when they feel has done to them. ‘Remember the Sulli- vans” should be a good slogan to keep up | our morale. ON MICE AND ELEPHANTS We have all heard that mice frighten ele- phanis, but what the rodents do pachyderms is nothing compared to what ssimo Chiang Kai-shek has done to | American war commentators. The Chinese leader recently withdrew radio broadcasters and the Washington columnists practically went into epileptic fits. They reported “increasing concern” over the attitude of the Chinese and that a rebuke had been administered to “Anglo- American failure the still beleaguered Chinese.” Common sense is a great help at times. Consider the situation of the Chinese, who find pewerful allies on their side for the first time. Great Britain and the United Statés have stance to China. Neither nation has given all possible or desirable. Neverthele both nations are engaged in ancther war and have adopted the strategy extended some ass | of beating Hitler first. This, it seems, is not the strategy of Gen- eral Chiang Kai-shek. He prefers for the pan first and, when the battle is over, pay some attention io Hitler. Because we do not adopt his views, he recalls his mi: mentators write columns about our concern and his rebuke. Their conclusions are too | silly to be seriously considered. China has the alternative of fighting Ja- | pan or surrendering. Whatever assistance comes from the United States and Great Britain is clear gain. Moreover, Chiang Kai- shek understands that if Japan is whipped in the Far East, it will take more than China to do the job. *The General.ssimo may be ttying some “smart” pressure politics but he knows on which side his bread is buttered. Naturally, he would like to end his war with Japan | | 88 soon as possible and he may be disap- pointed over the direction of our atrategy, but he is no fool. He will continue to figh | the Japs. listed in the Navy, and all of them were on | said that, while he realized all the | eparated, one or (he other might not have | disposed to complain about what the war. f | io uhe \ his military mission from Washington.
