There was a difference between the Cash and Carry and Lend Lease policies. Both were introduced during Second World War. The Cash and Carry policy performed in 1939 to aid the Allies and preserve neutrality. It allows the sale of American military equipment to countries like Britain and France on a “cash-and-carry”. They had to pay cash for American supplies and transport it on their ships.
Lend-Lease policy also assisted allied nation with military supplies like tanks, ammunition, aeroplanes, and trucks. The policy meant for lend and lease not for sell. It benefited the Allied because they did not have to pay for these items.
