John: what we're really doing is sending out a message to the world, to the Youth, especially the youth or anybody really that's in protesting for Peace, or protesting against any form of and we say everybody's getting a Bit heavy or bit intellectual about it. talking 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 product of it was just stories about Riots and fightings. and we did the bed event in amsterdam and the bag in vienna Just to give people an idea, there's many ways of protest 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, protest peace anyway, but peacefully 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 they'd been For thousands of years. they know how to the game violence and it's easier for Them when can recognise you and shoot you. they don't know how to handle Humour, humour and that's our message really.
Questioner: what do you think was the success in history, about 300 years?
John: a clue.
Yoko: well, it's still yet to happen, you see. that's why we're trying to do it. in words, by very, very peaceful 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 last 300 years, because it's never done and Nobody has really tried it, you see. and that's what we're 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 as if something's going to happen Aside of us. we are all in this you see. we are all in the same 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 atmosphere 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 of everybody in the world 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 a little bit more responsible Than the
no, not particularly.
Yoko: no, not particularly. no. the world, if the whole world was really Aware of it and if the journalists and the communication media of those 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 Whole world was aware of their responsibility, it could have stopped, I'm sure.
John: well, we know that britain and a few 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, could've stopped it earlier, But they until it's on the doorstep, you know, until it involves their money, territory.
Questioner: a special type of petition that is vetoed by special contents ..
no. I don't think so because...
Questioner: hitler could been voted by the french, for instance.
John: every nation will have a prototype. I I was out talking to one of the Austrian tv guys. I said can you name me one european which hasn't sort of Raped the world and he said austria actually was the only one that attack else. they were always on the defensive side, I don't know whether that's True.
Qustioner: but they were at the wrong moment...
okay, that's bad, I agree that silence is bad. but I mean there isn't one european Country that hasn't had it's hitler in one way or the other, britain, in what They did to india and africa, you know.
Yoko: so let's so to the future, you know. so that's why we're here. we want to Talk mainly to the young people all over the world, because 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 and in our way, we're just Announcing that we're open to all invitations or suggestions or to work For the world peace, you see, and doing it now, in our own way, which 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 middle of it, you know, everything, All the that is happening in the world now are our responsibility and if we Don't realise it and immediately start something, action, you know, it's going To be bad, you know. and it will be exactly like you said. one morning, we in the Newspaper, find that the whole 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 okay, but for a lot of people, through your behaviour, to get Suspicious. don't think that this can be correct, people sitting under a Tablecloth against wars. they don't think...
Yoko: okay, before they criticise us, you know, and if they want to 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 peace and Staying in bed for peace, but I'm as violent as the next man, and I'm yoko is just as Violent as well. we're violent people, you know. I prefer myself when I'm non- Violent. I prefer me friends when they're non-violent. it just makes for living And if we to have violence, let's 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 kill other or something. but I don't want to be in their violence. I prefer to live in peace, you know.
Yoko: all you need is courage, you know. you can just go out in the now and Take off all your clothes and just say you know and you'll be in the news you See. just and if everybody gets courage and of course they would, Because they would think all maybe this is a little bit embarrassing thing to do, But look at and yoko they're doing worse, so I can do it, you know. That's all trying to do, you see.
