WASHINGTON
P'
The
United

today
called
for
"regulation,

and
balanced
reduction
of
all
armed
forces

including
atomic
weapons.
In
a
joint
declaration,
the
three
powers
said
any
"honest
program"
for
reducing
armed
forces
and
limiting
weapons
must
be
based
on
"disclosures
and
verification"
of
troop
strengths
and
supplies.
They
added
:
"It
must

bly
proposals
for
carrying
out

of

and
forces.
It
said
discussion
of
the

should
begin
immediately
but
added:
"However,
such
