  We show that the instanton-induced inelastic processes, leading to
multi-gluon production in in high-energy parton-parton scattering, are
considerably enhanced over the quasi-elastic ones, by a factor of 100.
  The basic instanton-induced inelastic contribution cause the parton-parton
cross section to increase as ${\rm ln} {s}$, and their Poisson resummation in
hadron-hadron scattering yield a regge-type cross section. The pomeron slope
and intercept due to instanton-induced contributions are evaluated. We show
that the small intercept is due to the diluteness of the instantons in the QCD
vacuum, while the small slope is related to the smallness of the instanton
sizes.
