Good morning meine damen und herren, 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 anybody really that's interested in for Peace, or protesting against any of violence and we say everybody's getting a Bit heavy or bit intellectual about it. everybody's about peace, but nobody's Doing about it, except for a few people, and the things are, the grosvenor Square marches in london. the end of it was just newspaper stories 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 protest and is one of them. And anybody could grow their hair for peace or 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 win and they'd been winning For thousands of years. know how to play the game violence and it's easier for Them when they can recognise you and shoot you. they don't know how to Humour, peaceful humour and our message really.
what do you think was the biggest success 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 methods 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 biggest happening yet in the 300 years, because it's never been done and Nobody has really tried it, you see. and that's what we're to do.
Questioner: 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 is in war with 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 you see. we are all in the same society and in the same and everything that happens to us is our responsibility, you know. like any Violence going in the world is just a symbol of all the violent that is in The world, you see and when the nazism persecuted the jewish people wasn't only Hitler, who did it or germany, who did it, but just a symbol of everybody in the Who had the for the persecution of jews, you see. so we share everything, so That's not gonna happen, if there's war suddenly, our fault, you know.
Questioner: so what do you think about the behaviour of austrian and germans The second world war? don't you think that they're a little bit more 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 as well and reported everything correct, you Know, well, is almost impossible, I'm sure, but as much as possible and if the Whole world was aware of their responsibility, it have been stopped, I'm sure.
John: well, we that britain and a few other counties waited quite a long time Before they made any decision about what to do. I'm not sure of the facts, you Know, but after czechoslovakia and things like that, they could've it earlier, But they 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 special ..
John: no. I think so because...
Questioner: hitler could been voted 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 can you name me one european country which hasn't sort of Raped the world and he said austria actually was the one that didn't attack else. they were always on the defensive side, I don't know whether that's True.
Qustioner: but were silent at the wrong 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 did to india and south africa, you know.
Yoko: so let's so back to the future, you know. so that's why here. we want to Talk mainly to the young all over the world, because those are the people Who are to be the next generation. they're going to be the next world, you Know, and we just want to say we are them. we're not preaching or anything like That. we to be with them and we're with them and in our way, we're just Announcing we're open 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 people have to realise this is just as bad as Before the second world war or right in the 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 start something, action, you know, going To be bad, you know. and it be exactly like you said. one morning, we find in the Newspaper, find the whole world is going to disappear, you know.
Questioner: I agree with you, but you see, I mean, it's a fact that by through your Behaviour, I it's okay, but for a lot of people, through your behaviour, to get Suspicious. they don't that this can be correct, people sitting under a Tablecloth protesting against wars. they think...
Yoko: okay, before they criticise us, you know, and if 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,
John: yes, yes, we all have it in us. in a way, we're saying we peace and we're in bed for peace, but I'm as violent 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 I'm non- Violent. I prefer me when they're non-violent. it just makes for easier living And if we to have violence, let's channel it, you know. I don't know how, you know, there's people can work out how to channel it, or Give them to play and kill each other or something. but I don't want to be Involved in violence. I prefer to live in peace, you know.
all you need is courage, you know. you can just go out in the street now and Take off all your clothes and just say peace you and you'll be in the news you See. just courage and if everybody gets and of course they would, they would think all right maybe this is a little bit embarrassing thing to do, But at john and yoko they're doing worse, so I can do it, you know. all we're trying to do, you see.
