Some properties of strange particles which remain unexplained after the introduction of the strangeness quantum number and the isotopic spin are: some experimental information about the isotopic change in decay, the mass spectrum of baryons, and the problem of possible parity nonconservation in strange particle decays in general. These properties are used to advance the theory of strange particles beyond the Nishijima-- Gell-- Mann theory at least on phenomenological ground. It is shown that the study of isotopic spin in connection with the above three problems seems to be particularly promising. It is assumed that the isotopic spin is conserved in every strong interaction. (M.H.R.)
