Abstract
It is shown that the difference in behavior of the high-energy (>450 Mev c.m.) total photoproduction cross sections for π+ and π0 can be explained by the presence of the retardation term in the case of the π+ production. The analogy with the behavior at the (3/2, 3/2) resonance is noted. The discussion naturally provides an explanation for the difference in center-of-mass energies of the lower high-energy peak found in π--p scattering and the corresponding peak in the π+ photoproduction. It is felt that the discussion contributes some evidence for the resonance nature of the peaks.
