Oh, - Peace. morning meine damen und herren, this is the peace call.
John: what we're really is sending out a message to the world, mainly to the Youth, especially the youth or anybody that's interested in protesting for Peace, or protesting against any of violence and we say everybody's getting a Bit heavy or bit intellectual it. everybody's talking about peace, but nobody's Doing anything about it, for a few people, and the things are, the grosvenor Square marches in london. the end product of it was just newspaper about Riots and fightings. and we did the bed event in and the bag piece in vienna Just to give people an idea, that there's many ways of and this is one of them. And anybody could grow their for peace or give up a week of their holiday for Peace or sit in a bag for peace, protest against peace anyway, but cause we Think that peace is got by peaceful methods and that to fight the establishment With their own weapons is no good, because they always win and been winning For of years. they know how to play the game violence and it's easier for when they can recognise you and shoot you. they don't know how to handle Humour, humour and that's our message really.
Questioner: do you think was the biggest success in history, about 300 years?
haven't a clue.
Yoko: well, maybe it's yet to happen, you see. that's why we're trying to do it. in Other words, by very, very peaceful methods to peace, you know instead of Peace through violence, that's what trying to do and if we succeed in that, That's the biggest yet in the last 300 years, because it's never been done and Nobody has really tried it, you see. and that's we're trying to do.
Questioner: what would you do in case of a
how do you mean?
Questioner: what you do immediately if you would wake up in the morning, read the newspapers and they would tell you england is in war with france?
I'd die of fright.
Yoko: I don't that should happen. you talk as if something's going to happen Aside of us. we are all in this you see. we are all in the society and in the same World and everything happens to us is our responsibility, you know. like any Violence going in the is just a symbol of all the violent atmosphere that is in The world, you see and when the nazism persecuted the jewish people that wasn't Hitler, who did it or germany, who did it, but a symbol of everybody in the world Who had the feeling for the persecution of jews, you see. so we everything, so That's not gonna happen, if war suddenly, that's our fault, you know.
so what do you think about the behaviour of austrian and germans during The second war? don't you think that they're a little bit more responsible Than the
no, not particularly.
Yoko: no, not particularly. no. the whole world, if the whole world was Aware of it and if the and the communication media of those days were Really aware of their responsibility as well and everything correct, you Know, well, is almost impossible, I'm sure, but as much as possible and if the world was aware of their responsibility, it could have been stopped, I'm sure.
John: well, we know that britain and a few other counties waited a long time Before they made any decision about to do. I'm not quite sure of the facts, you Know, but after czechoslovakia and things like that, they stopped it earlier, But waited until it's on the doorstep, you know, until it involves their money, territory.
Questioner: there's a type of petition that is vetoed by special contents ..
John: no. I think so because...
Questioner: hitler could have been by the french, for instance.
John: every nation will have a prototype. I think I was out to one of the Austrian tv guys. I said can you name me one european country hasn't sort of Raped the world and he said austria was the only one that didn't attack Anybody else. were always on the defensive side, I don't know whether that's True.
Qustioner: but they were silent at the moment...
John: okay, bad, I agree that silence is bad. but I mean there isn't one european Country that had it's hitler in one way or the other, including britain, in what They did to india and africa, you know.
so let's so back to the future, you know. so that's why we're here. we want to Talk mainly to the young all over the world, because those are the people Who are going to be the generation. they're going to be the next world, you Know, and we just want to say we are with them. we're not preaching or like That. we want to be with them and we're with and in our way, we're just Announcing that we're to all invitations or suggestions or anything to work For the world peace, you see, and we're it now, in our own way, which we think is The best for us and also the young have to realise that this is just as bad as Before the second war or right in the middle of it, you know, that everything, All the violence that is happening in the now are our responsibility and if we Don't really realise it and immediately something, action, you know, it's going To be bad, you know. and it will be exactly you said. one morning, we find in the Newspaper, find the whole world is going to disappear, you know.
Questioner: I with you, but don't you see, I mean, it's a fact that by through your Behaviour, I think it's okay, but for a lot of people, your behaviour, to get Suspicious. they don't think this can be correct, people sitting under a Tablecloth protesting against wars. they think...
Yoko: okay, before they us, you know, and if they want to criticise us, okay, Go ahead, and they do it in their own way, but do something, you know.
Questioner: so everybody should throw out his part of hitler out of his soul,
yes, yes, we all have it in us. in a way, we're saying we want peace and we're Staying in bed for peace, but I'm as as the next man, and I'm sure yoko is just as Violent just as well. we're violent people, you know. I prefer myself when I'm Violent. I prefer me friends when they're non-violent. it makes for easier living And if we have to have violence, channel it, you know. I know how, you know, there's other people can work out how to channel it, or Give them somewhere to play and each other or something. but I don't want to be Involved in their violence. I prefer to in peace, you know.
Yoko: all you need is courage, you know. you can go out in the street now and Take off all clothes and just say peace you know and you'll be in the news you See. just and if everybody gets courage and of course they would, Because would think all right maybe this is a little bit embarrassing thing to do, But look at john and they're doing worse, so I can do it, you know. That's all we're to do, you see.
Questioner: so you're courage, also, into the world?
