This has the important consequence that if a front-form theory containing $(1/2,\,0)\oplus(0,\,1/2)$ representation space has to be parity covariant then one must study the evolution of a physical system not only along $x^+$ but also along the $x^-$ direction. As a result of our analysis, we find an indication that there may be no halving of the degrees of freedom in the front form of field theories.LAUR-93-4317-REV, 10 pages, Revtex Version 3.0 (Accepted for publication in Phys.
