A discussion is given of some implications of a symmetry principle, conjectured by Gamba, Marshak, and Okubo (GMO), in connection with the compound models for elementary particles, and the interpretation of weak interactions by a heavy vector meson coupled to the conserved V and A currents of the fermions. GMO observed that, for weak interactions, the three baryons LAMBDA deg , n, p are equivalent to the leptons mu /sup -/, e/sup -/, nu in the sense that any reaction permitted or observed for one of the groups is permitted for the other and conversely, no reaction forbidden for one is observed in the other. This permitted the extension of the notions of isospin and strangeness to leptons and led to the expression of the electric charge in terms of the isospin projection, T/sub 3/, and the baryon and lepton numbers B and L:. Q = T/sub 3/ + 1/2(S+ B -- L). (B.O.G.)
