The aim of this paper is to establish a conjecture of Shapiro (10) that an F-space (complete metric linear space) with the Hahn-Banach Extension Property is locally convex. This result was proved by Shapiro for F-spaces with Schauder bases; other similar results have been obtained by Ribe (8). The method used in this paper is to establish the existence of basic sequences in most F-spaces.
