Abstract
It has been pointed out by Wigner that the consistency requirement between the Lagrange and Heisenberg equations of motion does not uniquely determine the canonical commutation relations, at least for one‐dimensional systems. It is shown here that this ambiguity does not arise in local field theory whose basic equal‐time commutators commute with the translation operator.
