In the general theory of relativity the active mass M of a static source can be written exactly as an integral over a certain linear combination of the diagonal components of the stress-energy tensor. Two corresponding integrals are found within the framework of the Brans--Dicke theory (Phys. Rev.; 124: 925(1961)) which give the values of those two constants characterizing the source which alone enter into the metric tensor at points sufficiently remote from the source. After dealing with some concomitant results it is shown that the Brans-- Dicke equations do not admit everywhere regular, static, asymptotically flat vacuum solutions. (auth)
