Abstract
A formulation of the parton picture of current interactions is given without recourse to perturbation theory. In deep inelastic electron scattering the structure functions W 1 and νW 2 scale but the corresponding functions W 1 and ν W 2 for electron-positron annihilation processes at high energy are likely to be divergent. Form factors for particles other than the partons themselves go to zero at infinite momentum transfer. The relation between the rate of decrease of the nucleon form factors and the behaviour of νW 2 near ω = 1 is shown to depend upon further specific properties of parton-nucleon dynamics and so to be model dependent. Some similarities between the parton picture and a recently proposed Veneziano-like amplitude are discussed. A difference is that the parton picture permits the incorporation of the pomeron.
