GEARHART D'tsce Quasi Semper Victurus Vive Quasi Cras Morihirus of California FOUNDED 1867 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Friday, November 19, 1943 MR. GEARHART. Mr. Speaker, pursuant to unanimous consent granted by the House, I am including in the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD some verses entitled, "Prophecy for Peace," which are so exalted and majestic as to be worthy of publication everywhere. These inspiring words were written by my friend, James Patrick McGovem, of the District of Columbia bar, a captain in the A.E.F. during the First World War, whose poem on the war effort, inserted by me in the RECORD of September 17, 1943, has also appeared in recent issues of The American Legion Magazine, THE STAFF The Stars and Stripes, and other patriotic publications of Nation­ wide circulation.
