Longair and Scheuer1 recently reported the results of their exhaustive studies concerning the possible correlation between optical and radio intensities and the redshifts in a large sample of quasi-stellar objects. Plotting the observed visual optical magnitudes mv and the radio fluxes S178 and S1400 against the red shifts z, they found significant statistical correlations between these quantities. The next step was to eliminate the effects of relativistic time dilation comprising: the fact that the radiation received was emitted with higher frequency; the diminished energy of each photon; the contraction of the observed frequency band relative to the band in which the radiation was emitted. All these effects of time dilation remain the same whether or not the redshift is considered to be the result of the expansion of the universe. After constructing the graphs of the corrected values m'v, S'178 and S1400 the authors make the following statement: ``The most striking result is that the correlation ... has disappeared completely''.
