Letters 7_, 390 (1961)] point out that a far-away pole in the P-wave amplitude is indispensable in obtaining a resonance in the pion-pion problem. Recently, in their bootstrap approach to the pion-nucleon problem, K. Huang and F. E. Low [Phys. Rev. Letters 13., 596 (1964)] emphasize the necessity of introducing a sub- traction into the partial-wave dispersion relation in order to obtain a bootstrap solution. 4 M. Sugawara and A. Tubis, Phys. Rev. 130, 2127 (1963). 5 The existence of a pair of zeros implies that A(oS) cannot vanish at infinity. In the case of the fastest ap- proach of A(u>) to zero, however, A{u>) becomes pure real at infinity because <5(°°) is then 7r or 0. Therefore, A{oo) cannot satisfy an unsubtracted dispersion relation. In the case when A(u>) approaches a finite pure imagi- nary limit, A{oS) can still satisfy an unsubtracted dis- persion relation, as is discussed by M. Sugawara and A. Kanazawa, Phys. Rev. 123, 1895 (1961). 6 The argument below is essentially the same as that given by M. Sugawara and A. Tubis, Phys. Rev. Let- ters £, 355 (1962). 7 If A{oo) is not even with respect to the sign change in w, AM is no longer real on the imaginary axis and, therefore, the preceeding argument concerning a pair of zeros on the imaginary axis no longer holds. 8 J.
