Abstract: (Elsevier)
A comparatively simple proof is given for the general theorem that a wide class of quantized field theories which are invariant under the proper Lorentz group is also invariant with respect to the product of time reversal (T), charge conjugation (C), and parity (P). In the proof use is made of an important simplification introduced by Pauli.
