Abstract
It is shown that an article by C. W. Misner (MISNER C. W., Yilmaz cancels N ewton, University of Maryland preprint PP-95-115, gr-qc/9504050, 1995, this issue p. 1079) contains serious errors. In particular, the claim that the Yilmaz theory of gravitation cancels the Newtonian gravitational interactio n is based on a false premise. With the correct premise the conclusion of t he article regarding the absence of gravitational interactions applies to g eneral relativity and not to the Yilmaz theory.
