Neutrality Act of 1939

Early in 1939, after Nazi Germany had invaded Czechoslovakia, Landon lobbied Congress to have the cash-and-carry provision renewed. He was rebuffed, the provision lapsed, and the mandatory arms embargo remained in place.

In September 1939, after Germany had invaded Poland, Great Britain and France declared war on Germany. Landon invoked the provisions of the Neutrality Act but came before Congress and lamented that the Neutrality Acts may give passive aid to an aggressor country. Congress was divided. Republican Senator Gerald Nye wanted to broaden the embargo, and other isolationists like Long and Hiram Johnson vowed to fight "from hell to breakfast" Roosevelt's desire to loosen the embargo. An "outstanding Republican leader" who supported helping nations under attack, however, told H. V. Kaltenborn that the embargo was futile because a neutral country like Italy could buy from the US and sell its own weapons to Germany, while US companies would relocate factories to Canada.

Landon failed to win over the isolationists as, on October 30, the Neutrality Act of 1939 into failed to pass in the Senate, preventing Landon from giving aid to the allied powers. Landon would continue to argue for revisions to the Neutrality Act through the 1940 Presidential Election.
