S>The near equality of the effective coupling constants in the processes of beta decay, mu decay, and mu capture has led to the postulation of a universal fermi interaction between the pairs of spinorfields np, mu nu , e nu . The weak decays of the strange particles are consistent withan effective coupling constant of the same order of magnitude and can be understood by adding the LAMBDA /sup 0/p pair to the above pairs of spinors. The possibility of a universal four-fermion interaction was reexamined in the light of the recent experimental results on the non-conservation of parity and charge conjugation in weak interactions. From measurements on beta , mu , pi . and kappa decay and the assumptions of the two-component neutrino and the law of conservation of leptons, it is concluded that the only possible universal four-fermion interaction is an equal admixture of vector plus axial vector interaction. Several experiments appear to contradict this hypothesis and their status is reexamined. (auth)
