Abstract
We study a theory of short range forces in terms of local observable quantities; among the superselection structure determined by the algebra of all local observables, to each additive independent charge we associate local observables having a meaning analogous to the regularized integrals of charge density fields over a finite volume. Among other assumptions, we require that parastatistics are absent from the theories considered.
