Abstract
We investigate the dependence of the current-phase relationship on the orientation of the order parameter for a pinhole between two He-B reservoirs. We show that, due to the internal spin structure of the superfluid, the energy of the junction may have a relative minimum at phase difference equals at low temperatures. The dependence of the supercurrent on the direction of an applied magnetic field can be used to verify the present mechanism for the ``-states''.
