From a sum rule for backward p-p scattering, valid only in the limit of large four-momentum transfer g&, we obtain an inequality for backward e-P inelastic scattering which depends upon the commutator of space components of isospin currents. Given chiral U{6) g U(6) current algebra, the total backward scattering at 6xed large quis predicted to be at least as great as that from a point Dirac particle with charge ~z g.
