A Finsler manifold \(M\) is locally symmetric if, for any \(p\in M\), the geodesic reflection \(s_p\) is a local isometry of the Finsler metric. This is called the geodesic symmetry relative to the point \(p\). It is obvious that \(s_p\) induces \(-\text{id}\) on the tangent space \(T_pM\), therefore, complete locally symmetric Finsler manifolds have reversible metric. The author asserts that any compact locally symmetric Finsler metric with positive flag curvature must be Riemannian. References are as follows: [\textit{C. E. Duran}, Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 126, No. 10, 3079--3082 (1998; Zbl 0936.53046); \textit{P. Foulon}, C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris, Ser. I 324, No. 10, 1127--1132 (1997; Zbl 0882.53051); \textit{M. Matsumoto}, Tensor New Ser. 37, 35--42 (1982; Zbl 0489.53028)].
