John: what really doing is sending out a message to the world, mainly to the Youth, especially the or anybody really that's interested 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 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 piece in Just to people an idea, that 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 holiday for or sit in a bag for peace, protest against peace anyway, but peacefully cause we Think peace is only got by peaceful methods and that to fight the establishment With their own weapons is no good, they always win and they'd been winning For thousands of years. they know how to play the game and it's easier for Them when they can recognise you and shoot you. don't know how to handle Humour, peaceful humour and that's our really.

so what do you think about the behaviour of austrian and germans during The second world war? don't you think they're a little bit more responsible 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 responsibility as well and reported correct, you Know, well, which is impossible, I'm sure, but as much as possible and if the world was aware of their responsibility, it could have been stopped, I'm sure.
John: well, we know that britain and a few other counties quite a long time Before they made any decision about to do. I'm not quite sure of the facts, you Know, but czechoslovakia and things like that, they could've stopped it earlier, But they until it's on the doorstep, you know, until it involves their money, territory.
