It is shown that the validity of the principle of reciprocity for arbitrary motion impiies that the rate of a moving clock departs from the (instantaneous) special relativistic value by a term - xx/2c 2 where x is the distance of the clock. Through this effect the cosmological red shift can be understood as arising from the outward acceleration of radiating atoms in galactic gravitational fields. In this way the relation ( GM/2cL 2) ˜ (1/ H) between Newton's constant of gravitation G, the mass M and linear dimension L of a typical galaxy and Hubble's constant H is derived. This relation is verified by present-day observations. Implications of these considerations for quasars are briefly discussed. As a possible test of this theory it is suggested that the spectra of galaxies be searched for the presence of blue-shifted lines which are expected to be fainter by three to four magnitudes in comparison with the red-shifted lines.
