IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

Read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations
JOINT RESOLUTION
Neutrality Act of 1939.
Whereas the policy of the United States in foreign wars not
affecting the defense of the United States is a policy of
neutrality in accordance with the rules of international law;
and
Whereas the United States stands for restating and strengthen-
ing the rights of neutrals at the earliest practicable time; and
Whereas it seems advisable, until these rights can be restated,
to diminish the risk of this Nation becoming involved in
foreign wars by restricting the exercise of certain neutral
rights of our citizens: Therefore be it
1 Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
2 of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
