Good morning meine damen und herren, is the peace call.
what we're really doing is sending out a message to the world, mainly to the Youth, especially the youth or anybody that's interested in protesting for Peace, or protesting any form of violence and we say everybody's getting a Bit or bit intellectual about it. everybody's talking about peace, but nobody's Doing anything it, except for a few people, and the things are, the grosvenor Square in london. the end product of it was just newspaper stories about Riots and fightings. and we did the bed in amsterdam and the bag piece in vienna Just to give people an idea, that there's many of protest and this is one of them. And anybody could grow their for peace or give up a week of their holiday for Peace or sit in a bag for peace, against 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 of years. they 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 and that's our message really.
Questioner: what do you 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 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 happening yet in the last 300 years, because it's never been done and Nobody has really it, you see. and that's what we're trying to do.
Questioner: what would you do in 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 tell you england 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 Aside of us. we are all in this you see. we are all in the same society and in the World and that happens to us is our responsibility, you know. like any Violence in the world is just a symbol of all the violent atmosphere that is in The world, you see and when the nazism persecuted the jewish people that only Hitler, who did it or germany, who did it, but a symbol of everybody in the world Who had the feeling for the of jews, you see. so we share everything, so That's not gonna happen, if war suddenly, that's our fault, you know.
Questioner: so what do you think about the of austrian and germans during The second war? don't you think that they're a little bit more responsible Than the
no, not particularly.
Yoko: no, not particularly. no. the whole world, if the world was really 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, is almost 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 counties waited quite a long time Before they made any decision 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 waited 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 have been voted by the french, for instance.
John: every nation 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 hasn't of Raped the and he said austria actually was the only one that didn't attack Anybody else. were always on the defensive side, I don't know whether that's True.
Qustioner: but they were silent at the 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 They did to india and africa, you know.
so let's so back to the future, you know. so that's why we're here. we want to Talk mainly to the people all over the world, because those are the people Who are going to be the next generation. they're 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 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 doing it now, in our own way, which we is The best for us and also the young people have to realise that this is 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 you said. one morning, we find in the Newspaper, find the whole world is going to disappear, you know.
Questioner: I with you, but don't you see, I mean, it's 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 that this can be correct, people sitting under a Tablecloth against wars. they don't think...

I prefer myself when I'm Violent. I prefer me when they're non-violent. it just makes for easier living And if we have to have violence, channel it, you know. I don't how, you know, there's other people can work out how to channel it, or Give them somewhere to play and kill each other or something. but I don't to be Involved in violence.
