Amid such sentiments, subject to such pressure, Franklin Roosevelt who never loved the strict provisions of the Neutrality Act stood by it. He knew that at such a late hour lifting the embargo would involve the U. S. in diplomatic trouble and threaten U. S. peace far more effectively than it could help Loyalist Spain.
