It is shown how a result of S.R. Caradus on the approximation problem can be obtained from known theorems.

Terms used here are standard (see [1] or [3]).

Let X denote a Banach space, S its unit ball in the weak topology, and X* the dual of X. In [1], the following theorem is proved: (I) If X is reflexive and X* (considered as a subspaoe of the continuous scalar-valued functions C(S) in the canonical way) is complemented in C(S), then X has the approximation property.

It is our purpose to point out that (I) is a corollary to some known theorems that yield the stronger conclusion (II) below.
