Using the axial-vector current commutation relation and the partially conserved axialvector current hypothesis, the low energy pion-nucleon scattering amplitudes are analyzed. For the p-wave scattering amplitudes, the (3, 3)-resonance contribution which appears through the time-ordered product of the axial-vector currents is found to be the same order of magnitude as the contribution from the equal-time commutator of the axial-vector currents. By considering the (3, 3)-resonance contribution, the differences between the p-wave scattering lengths are compared with experiment. Our prediction prefers the Hamilton-Woolcock result to the Roper-Wright-Feld one, but it is not very conclusive. The contribution from the equal-time commutator of the axial-vector currents is shown to be essentially that from the ρ-meson-exchange interaction. It is stressed that the PCAC meson theory is essentially the same as the derivative-coupling meson theory in consideration of contributions both from the ρ-meson-exchange interaction and probably from the π-π s-wave interaction.
