DONE
To ban loans and embargo munitions would
have been to give realistic expression to the
isolation that the people and their President
believed they enjoyed. But it would have
closed off the wealth of unlimited orders, and

neutrality. Rather they hoped to make a good
thing of it. With these two economic
measures taken before the war was three
months old, the fact, if not the illusion, of
isolation was dead.
