Using an estimate on the group velocity we give an independent proof of the existence of time translations for a large class of short range interactions. We demonstrate that these systems satisfy a strong form of causal propagation and that space-time algebras in suitable space-like directions are disjoint. Finally we derive criteria for dispersion of the interaction in terms of the algebraic density of the orbit of local subalgebras under the evolution or under the associated group of shifts. In this sense the Heisenberg and X-Y models are dispersive but the Ising model is not.
