The statements you provided seem to refer to some of the principles and policies surrounding neutrality and non-interventionism, particularly in the context of the United States' foreign policy during the early 20th century, such as the Neutrality Acts of the 1930s.
These acts were designed to prevent the U.S. from being drawn into external conflicts by imposing restrictions such as:
- Arms Sales: Prohibiting the sale of arms to nations at war.
- Travel Restrictions: Forbidding Americans from traveling on ships belonging to warring nations to protect them from being involved in hostilities.
- Loans Restrictions: Banning loans to nations involved in war to diminish financial entanglements or allegiances.
- Cash-and-Carry Basis: Allowing the sale of war materials only if payment was made in cash and the goods were transported by the purchasing nation, which minimized U.S. involvement in conflict.
These measures reflected a desire to maintain peace and avoid the consequences of war by preventing American involvement through economic and logistical means. If you’d like more specific information or analysis on this topic, feel free to ask!
