A composite plot of far-infrared versus radio luminosity for late type galaxies, Seyferts, quasars and radio galaxies is constructed. The most striking result is that the radio and far-infrared luminosities of radio-quiet quasars are correlated and follow the same correlation as normal star-forming galaxies and ultraluminous infrared galaxies, whereas the radio-loud quasars have luminosites in both bands similar to those of radio galaxies. It is concluded that the far-infrared emission from radio-quiet quasars is from star-forming host galaxies and not from active galactic nuclei. The far-infrared radio plot may be a powerful discriminator between host galaxy type.
