We discuss duality in {ital N}=1 SUSY gauge theories in Seiberg{close_quote}s conformal window, 3{ital N}{sub {ital c}}/2{lt}{ital N}{sub {ital f}}{lt}3{ital N}{sub {ital c}}. The {close_quote}t Hooft consistency conditions, the basic tool for establishing the infrared duality, are considered taking into account higher order {alpha} corrections. The conserved (anomaly-free) {ital R} current is built to all orders in {alpha}. Although this current contains all orders in {alpha} the {close_quote}t Hooft consistency conditions for this current are shown to be one loop. This observation thus justifies Seiberg{close_quote}s matching procedure. We also briefly discuss the inequivalence of the {open_quote}{open_quote}electric{close_quote}{close_quote} and {open_quote}{open_quote}magnetic{close_quote}{close_quote} theories at short distances. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
