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.
