    Spin structure of the reaction pnΛ0Θ{\vec p}{\vec n}\to {\vec \Lambda^0} {\vec \Theta} is analysed at the threshold in a model independent way under assumption that the Θ+\Theta^+ is an isosinglet. We found that the sign of the spin-spin correlation parameter Cx,xC_{x,x} being measured in a double-spin experiment, determines the P-parity of the Θ+\Theta^+ unambiguously. Furthermore we show that the polarization coefficients Kxx,KyyK_x^x,K_y^y and KzzK_z^z which describe the polarization transfer from polarized beam or target to the final Λ0\Lambda^0 and Θ+\Theta^+ are nonzero for a positive parity of the Θ+\Theta^+ and equal zero for a negative parity. It allows one to determine the P-parity of the Θ+\Theta^+ in a single-spin measurement, since the polarization of the Λ0\Lambda^0 can be measured via its decay Λ0π+p\Lambda^0\to \pi^-+ p.Comment: 8 pages, Latex . The spin 3/2 of the Θ+\Theta^+ and a discrimination for the isospin T=0,1 and 2 are briefly discussed; minor corrections are performe
