Question

Why was the "cash-and-carry" provision in the Neutrality Act of 1937 important? (2)

Answer 1

The Neutrality Act of 1937 did contain one important concession to Roosevelt: belligerent nations were allowed, at the discretion of the President, to acquire any items except arms from the United States, so long as they immediately paid for such items and carried them on non-American ships—the so-called “cash-and-carry"
