Good morning meine und herren, this is the peace call.
John: what we're really is sending out a message to the world, mainly to the Youth, the youth or anybody really that's interested in protesting for Peace, or protesting any form of violence and we say everybody's getting a Bit heavy or bit intellectual about it. everybody's 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 newspaper stories about and fightings. and we did the bed event in amsterdam and the bag piece in vienna Just to give an idea, that there's many ways of protest and this is one of them. And anybody grow their hair for peace or give up a week of their holiday for or sit in a bag for peace, protest against peace anyway, but peacefully cause we Think that is only got by peaceful methods and that to fight the establishment With their own weapons is no good, because they always win and they'd been For of years. they know how to play the game violence and it's easier for Them they can recognise you and shoot you. they don't 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?
John: a clue.
Yoko: well, it's still yet to happen, you see. that's why we're trying to do it. in Other words, by very, very peaceful methods to bring peace, you know 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 tried it, you see. and that's what 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 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 world is just a symbol of all the violent that is in The world, you see and the nazism persecuted the jewish people that wasn't only Hitler, who did it or germany, who did it, but just a symbol of in the world Who had the for the persecution of jews, you see. so we share everything, so not gonna happen, if there's war suddenly, that's our fault, you know.
Questioner: so what do you think about the behaviour of austrian and during The world war? don't you think that they're a little bit more responsible the others?
no, not particularly.
Yoko: no, not particularly. no. the world, if the whole world was really of it and if the journalists and the communication media of those days were Really of their responsibility as well and reported everything correct, you Know, well, which is almost impossible, I'm sure, but as as possible and if the Whole world was aware of responsibility, it could have been stopped, I'm sure.
John: well, we know that britain and a few other counties waited quite a 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, they could've it earlier, But they waited it's on the doorstep, you know, until it involves their money, territory.
Questioner: there's a special of petition that is vetoed by special contents ..
John: no. I think so because...
Questioner: hitler have been voted by the french, for instance.
every nation will have a prototype. I think I was out talking to one of the Austrian tv guys. I said can you name me one european country which sort of Raped the world and he said austria actually was the only one didn't attack Anybody else. they were always on the defensive side, I don't whether that's True.
Qustioner: but they were at the wrong moment...
John: okay, that's bad, I agree 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 did to india and south africa, you know.
Yoko: so so back to the future, you know. so that's why we're here. we want to Talk to the young people all over the world, because those are the people Who are going to be the next generation. they're going to be the world, you Know, and we just want to say we are with them. not preaching or anything like That. we want to be with them and we're with them and in our way, just Announcing that we're open to all 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 in the middle of it, you know, that everything, All the violence that is happening in the world now are our and if we Don't really realise it and immediately start something, action, you know, it's 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.
I agree with you, but don't 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 think that this can be correct, people sitting under a protesting against wars. they don't 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 out his part of hitler out of his soul, then?
John: yes, yes, we all 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 when 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, 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 Involved in their violence. I prefer to in peace, you know.
Yoko: all you is courage, you know. you can just go out in the street now and Take off all your clothes and just say you know and you'll be in the news you See. just courage and if everybody courage and of course they would, Because they would think all 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.
