Neutrality Act of 1937 still had the mandatory arms embargo which meant that the United States could not sell arms to nations at war or carry arms in U.S ship for other nations at war. The president still had the power to withhold protection of citizens and the U.S was not allowed to give loans to nations at war. All of these restrictions were all brought from previous years of the neutrality acts. The new regulations stated that it was illegal for Americans to travel on ships of nations at war. Also, Nations at war were in need of consumer goods and the depression is still hurting the US and we need to sell. This made it okay for the U.S to sell non-armed goods if they paid cash up front and used their own ships to carry their purchased goods.

The 1935 act banned the shipment of war materials to belligerents and forbade U.S. citizens to travel on belligerent vessels. The 1936 act banned loans to belligerents. The 1937 act extended these provisions to civil wars and allowed the president to restrict nonmunitions sales to a "cash-and-carry" basis.

The Neutrality Acts of 1935-37 were three pieces of American legislation passed by Congress at the beginnings of WWII meant to keep America out of any more foreign wars. The first act in 1935 forbade the sale or shipment of weapons to any country at war (regardless of whether or not they were in a war of self-defense). The second, passed in 1936, forbade American monetary loans to warring nations (again, without the distiction between defender and agressor). Finally, in 1937, a third act was passed that made the previous two permanent parts of America's foreign policy and also forbade Americans to sail on any ships belonging to nations at war. This third act was doubtlessly made to avoid any incidents like those involving German U-boats in WWI (for example, the famous Lusitania) injuring or killing American civillians and thus dragging America back into war. These acts faced oppositon from FDR due to their indifference towards the nature of the fighting nations' intent ( the "good guys" and "bad guys" are equally cut off).

This is actually a definition summary of the neutrality act of 1935, 1936, and 1937. "The acts stated that when the president proclaimed the existence of a foreign war, certain restrictions would automatically go into effect. No American could legally sail on a belligerent ship, sell or transport munitions to a belligerent, or make loans to a belligerent." -course-notes.org. (American Pageant, 10th edition)
