The polarizations of 45 sources have been measured at 6 cm wavelength and have been compared with values obtained at longer wavelengths. The resulting wavelength dependence has been studied in relation to the spectra of the sources. For the quasi. stellar objects in particular, polarization features at short wave� lengths are associated with the young components of the source which radiate at high frequency. However, it is not possible to distinguish between radio galaxies and quasi-stellar objects solely on the basis of polarization data.

In this paper I shall consider briefly two major questions. The first is concerned with whether the QSO’s are at cosmological distances or not. The second is concerned with the theoretical models proposed to explain the observed properties of radio galaxies and quasi-stellar objects.In the Invited Discourses Dr. Sandage and Sir Martin Ryle gave arguments which lead them to believe that the QSO’s lie at cosmological distances. They both have strong convictions in this matter. However, Dr. Sandage did remark that he was only giving one side of a ‘great debate’. It is presumably up to me to give the other side of this argument. I have no strong beliefs in this matter but it appears that on the basis of the evidence as it is today we cannot reasonably assert that the QSO’s are at cosmological distances.

Stellar Density

Observations of quasi-stellar objects and radio galaxies indicate that the total energy radiated from such objects is so large that the most likely source of energy is annihilation.The demand for symmetry in the universe between ordinary matter and antimatter indicates that there must be equal quantities of the two kinds of matter in every galaxy. From this it seems likely that a galaxy is born as an ambiplasma body, in which separation of matter from antimatter leads to reasonably stable configurations.The violent events observed in quasi-stellar objects are then interpreted in terms of collisions between stars of opposite kinds of matter. Such collisions are expected to occur frequently in very young galaxies with a high stellar density in the nucleus. Most of the gamma-radiation released in the annihilation will be absorbed in the gases of the colliding bodies, causing strong heating and violent explosions. Strong ionizing radiation and expanding gas clouds will give rise to the observed optical line emission. Expanding clouds of light ambiplasma will emit synchrotron radiation.
