Bradley says UN hopes for Korean peace through negotiated ceasefire
General Omar Bradley told Senate hearings that the United Nations aims to negotiate a peace in Korea rather than drive Chinese and North Korean forces from the peninsula. He said the objective is to inflict maximum casualties with minimum losses to the UN side to facilitate negotiations. He noted March truce efforts failed after MacArthur’s ultimatum and affirmed continued hope to place terms before the UN for cessation of hostilities. Bradley, head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the spring offensive must be contained to improve negotiating leverage.
