Abstract
The relation of Yukawa's non-local field theory1) to the ordinary local field theory is investigated. In §3, it is shown that the equations of motion and the commutation relations of the non-local field are derived from those of the local field by a canonical transformation, which means that both fields are equivalent at least in the case of no interaction. §4 is devoted to some remarks on the feature of the non-local field as a mixed field composed of those with various spins. The considerations in this paper are all restricted to the free field.
