A Regge model of the Pomeron with intercept equal to one, leading to rising
cross-sections is considered. Analysis of the experimental data on hadron
and photon induced interactions is performed within the model. It is shown
that the available pure hadronic data as well as data on DIS are compatible
with a high energy logarithmic behaviour of cross-sections and do not requ
ire a Pomeron intercept above one. The very important role of the preasympt
otic contributions is especially emphasized.
