Detailed explanation-1: -A “cash-and-carry” provision in the Neutrality Act that Congress had added in 1937 permitted the sale of arms to European warring parties as long as they crossed the Atlantic on their own ships and paid for them at once in cash.
Detailed explanation-2: -Between 1935 and 1937 Congress passed three “Neutrality Acts” that tried to keep the United States out of war, by making it illegal for Americans to sell or transport arms, or other war materials to belligerent nations.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Neutrality Act of 1939 again allowed the U.S. to sell war materials to warring nations on a cash and carry basis. The act of 1939 also restricted U.S. ships and citizens from going into any zones the president deemed a war zone.
Detailed explanation-4: -The “cash and carry” legislation enacted in 1939 effectively ended the arms embargo that had been in place since the Neutrality Act of 1936, and paved the way for Roosevelt’s Lend-Lease program.
