Private Melvin J. Molden, a member of a signal service regiment in North Africa, has written an original poem entitled I Hate War, and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Molden, have received a copy. Young Molden writes that in the hearts of young soldiers who are doing the fighting there is hate-“not hate for one another country or for another man, but hate for war and for what it stands,”
Young Molden enlisted in February, 1941, and left Sioux City with the national guards for Camp Claiborne, Louisiana. He has been overseas seven months.
