The relations \V(ub)\/\V(cb)\ = square-root m(u)/m(c) and \V(td)\/\V(t
s)\ = square-root m(d)/m(s) are significant successes of some specific
models for quark masses. We show that these relations are more genera
l, resulting from a much wider class of models. Consequences of these
predictions for CP violating asymmetries in neutral B meson decays are
discussed.
