We use the algebra of charges and their time derivatives, PCAC, and Regge high energy behavior to derive sum rules for strong interaction forward amplitudes. The saturation of all sum rules by a finite number of states is self-consistent and leads to relations among coupling constants and masses. Saturating all sum rules for or-p scattering by ~,LD and A 1' we predict: m Al = 1100 MeV, ma= m , PA = 120 MeV, p 1 g = 21 BeV-' wfi in good agreement with experiment. (Submitted to Phys. Rev.
