The theory of Yang-Mills fields is explicity formulated in terms of the theory of connections in principal and associated fiber bundles. Special attention is paid to the fiber bundles with Lorentz and Poincaré structures. Equations of the form ∇ψ = 0, where ∇ is a generalized convariant derivative, are shown to contain “mass” terms if the connection in the Poincaré fiber bundle is cononically associated to the connection in the Lorentz fiber bundle.
