John: what we're really doing is sending out a message to the world, 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 getting a Bit heavy or bit intellectual it. everybody's talking about peace, but nobody's Doing anything about it, except for a few people, and the are, the grosvenor marches in london. the end product of it was just newspaper stories about Riots and fightings. and we did the bed event in amsterdam and the bag in vienna Just to people an idea, that there's many ways of protest and this is one of them. And could grow their hair 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 only got by peaceful methods and to fight the establishment With their own weapons is no good, because they always win and been winning For thousands of years. they know how to the game violence and it's easier for Them when they can recognise you and shoot you. they know how to handle Humour, peaceful humour and that's our really.
Questioner: do you think was the biggest success in history, about 300 years?
haven't a clue.
Yoko: well, maybe it's still yet to happen, you see. that's why we're to do it. in Other words, by very, very methods to bring peace, you know instead of Peace through violence, that's what we're to do and if we succeed in that, That's the biggest happening yet in the last 300 years, because it's 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
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 to happen of us. we are all in this you see. we are all in the same society and in the same World and everything that to us is our responsibility, you know. like any Violence going in the world is just a of all the violent atmosphere that is in The world, you see and when the persecuted the jewish people that wasn't only 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.
Questioner: so what do you think about the behaviour of austrian and during The second world war? don't you think that a little bit more responsible the others?
no, not particularly.
Yoko: no, not particularly. no. the whole world, if the whole world was Aware of it and if the journalists and the communication media of days were Really of their responsibility as well and reported everything correct, you Know, well, which is impossible, I'm sure, but as much as possible and if the Whole was aware of their responsibility, it could have been stopped, I'm sure.
John: well, we know that britain and a few other waited quite a long time Before made any decision about what to do. I'm not quite sure of the facts, you Know, but after czechoslovakia and things like that, could've stopped it earlier, But they waited until it's on the doorstep, you know, it involves their money, territory.
Questioner: there's a type of petition that is vetoed by special contents ..
no. I don't think so because...
Questioner: hitler have been voted by the french, for instance.

I said can you name me one european country which hasn't sort of Raped the world and he said austria actually was the only one didn't attack Anybody else. they were always on the side, I don't know whether that's True.
but they were silent at the wrong moment...
John: okay, that's bad, I agree that silence is bad. but I there isn't one european Country that hasn't had it's hitler in one way or the other, including britain, in They did to india and 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 people 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 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 doing it now, in our own way, we think is The for us and also the young people have to realise that 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 start something, action, you know, it's going To be bad, you know. and it will be like you said. one morning, we find in the Newspaper, that the whole world is going to disappear, you know.
Questioner: I agree with you, but don't you see, I mean, 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 that this can be correct, people sitting a Tablecloth against wars. they don't think...
Yoko: okay, before they criticise us, you know, and if they 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 of hitler out of his soul, then?

I prefer myself when I'm non- Violent. I me friends 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 other can work out how to channel it, or Give them somewhere to and kill each other or something. but I don't want to be Involved in their violence. I prefer to in peace, you know.
