Neutrality Act challenged by wartime trade risks
The speaker argues that a true neutrality act should not force the United States into choosing sides by protecting trade only at the seller’s risk. He warns that declaring a policy of “trade at your own risk” would leave exporters exposed if ships are sunk or cargoes seized, with no government aid. He likens current neutrality to the fragile stance of 1914 and cautions against drifting toward war.
