The correlation between the far-infrared (FIR) and the 6.3 cm radio continuum of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) was studied. Radio continuum maps and infrared maps are presented. Statistical studies indicated that the local point-by-point correlation between the two maps is strong and appears to be due to the correlation between warm FIR and thermal radio emissions both of which are associated with young ionizing stars. The cool FIR/nonthermal radio correlation appears to be strongly linked to the global FIR/radio correlation. A systematic difference was observed between the eastern and western half of the LMC. This asymmetry may be due to different ages of massive stars or different gas-to dust ratios in the two halves.
