Good morning damen und herren, this is the peace call.
John: what we're doing is sending out a message to the world, mainly to the Youth, especially the youth or really that's interested in protesting for Peace, or protesting against any form of violence and we say everybody's a Bit heavy or bit intellectual about it. everybody's talking peace, but nobody's Doing anything it, except for a few people, and the things are, the grosvenor Square marches in london. the end product of it was just newspaper stories Riots and fightings. and we did the bed in amsterdam 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 hair for peace or give up a week of their for Peace or sit in a bag for peace, against peace anyway, but peacefully 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 they'd winning For thousands of years. know how to play the game violence and it's easier for Them when they can recognise you and you. they don't know how to handle Humour, peaceful and that's our message really.
Questioner: what do you think was the biggest in history, about 300 years?
John: a clue.
Yoko: well, maybe it's still yet to happen, you see. that's why trying to do it. in Other words, by very, very peaceful to bring peace, you know instead of Peace through violence, that's we're trying to do and if we succeed in that, That's the happening 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.
what would you do in case of a war?
John: how do you
Questioner: what would you do immediately if you would wake up in the morning, read the newspapers and they would tell you england is in war france?
I'd die of fright.
Yoko: I don't think that should happen. you talk as if something's going to Aside of us. we are all in this you see. we are all in the society and in the same World and that 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 just a symbol of everybody in the Who had the feeling for the of jews, you see. so we share everything, so That's not gonna happen, if there's war suddenly, our fault, you know.
so what do you think about the behaviour of austrian and germans during The second world war? don't you that they're a little bit more responsible Than the
no, not particularly.
Yoko: no, not particularly. no. the whole world, if the world was really Aware of it and if the journalists and the communication of those days were Really aware of their responsibility as well and everything correct, you Know, well, which is almost impossible, I'm sure, but as as possible and if the world was aware of their responsibility, it could have been stopped, I'm sure.
John: well, we know that and a few other counties waited quite a long time Before they made any about what to do. I'm not quite sure of the facts, you Know, but after czechoslovakia and like that, they could've stopped it earlier, But waited until it's on the doorstep, you know, until it involves their money, territory.
Questioner: there's a special type of petition that is vetoed by contents ..
John: no. I don't so because...
Questioner: could have been voted by the french, for instance.
John: every nation have a prototype. I think I was out talking to one of the Austrian tv guys. I said can you name me one country which hasn't sort of Raped the world and he said austria was the only one that didn't attack else. they were always on the defensive side, I don't know whether that's True.
Qustioner: but they silent at the wrong moment...
John: okay, that's bad, I that silence is bad. but I mean there isn't one european Country that hasn't had it's in one way or the other, including britain, in what did to india and south africa, you know.
Yoko: so let's so back to the future, you know. so that's why we're here. we to Talk mainly to the young people all 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 want to say we are with them. we're not preaching or anything like That. we want to be with them and we're with them and in our way, we're Announcing that we're open to all invitations or suggestions or anything to For the world peace, you see, and doing it now, in our own way, which we think is The best for us and also the young people have to realise 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 world now are our and if we really realise it and immediately start 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.
I agree with you, but don't you see, I mean, it's a fact that by through your Behaviour, I think okay, but for a lot of people, through your behaviour, to get Suspicious. they don't think that can be correct, people sitting under a Tablecloth protesting against wars. don't think...
Yoko: okay, before they criticise us, you know, and if want to criticise us, okay, Go ahead, and they should do it in own way, but do something, you know.
Questioner: so everybody throw out his part of hitler out of his soul, then?
John: yes, yes, we all have it in us. in a way, we're saying we want and we're Staying in bed for peace, but I'm as violent as the man, and I'm sure yoko is just as Violent just as well. we're violent people, you know. I prefer myself I'm non- Violent. I prefer me friends when they're non-violent. it just makes for easier And if we to have violence, let's channel it, you know. I don't know how, you know, there's other can work out how to channel it, or Give somewhere to play and kill each other or something. but I don't want to be Involved in their violence. I to live in peace, you know.
