Abstract
It is shown that the D-meson, whose light quark is the initial-pion va lence quark and whose charmed quark is produced in annihilation of val ence quarks and has got a large enough momentum, is really a leading m eson in reactions like pi(-)p --> DX. If such annihilation of valence quarks from initial hadrons is impossible there must be no distinct le ading effect.
