Abstract
Page's proposed extension of the theory of relativity is examined from the standpoint of the general kinematical theory developed by the present author, of which it is found to be a special case. The contention that this extension renders Einstein's theory untenable would seem to be without real foundation; for although such an attempt to treat of observers in motions other than those contemplated in the special theory of relativity must lead to a theory transcending this latter, Page's theory is shown to be readily understandable in terms of a simple, though somewhat artificial, space time of a type met in the general theory of relativity.Keywords
