We consider a mechanism for the breaking of chiral SU/sub L/(3) x SU/sub R/(3) symmetry in quantum chromodynamics due to supercritical Coulomb forces. It is shown that this mechanism leads to a dynamical realization of the hypothesis of partial conservation of axial-vector current (PCAC). We obtain mass relations for the nonet of pseudoscalar mesons.
