"Britain had a larger fleet of ships to carry arms than Germany."
Explanation: The 1939 cash-and-carry rule let belligerents buy US arms only if they paid cash and transported the goods on their own vessels. Britain (and France) had large merchant fleets and naval control of the seas, so they could safely pick up shipments; Germany lacked secure sea access and risked British interception, so the policy effectively favored Britain.
