从坚持自由贸易和自身利益出发,美国在二战初期对英国对德经济封锁和贸易禁运政策,特别是船只临检制度深为不满。格沃特金-里斯特代表团访美,就英国经济战政策向美方做出解释并与之进行协调。由于在联合抗德问题上的一致性,英美很快达成妥协,美国逐步加入到英国的经济战体系中来。 Starting from adhering to free trade and self-interest, the United States was deeply dissatisfied with the British blockade on the German economy and the trade embargo policy in the early part of World War II, especially the vessel provisional inspection system. The delegation of the Goettinge-Lies delegation visited the United States to explain and coordinate with the United States on the British economic war policy. Due to the unification of fighting against Germany, Britain and the United States reached a compromise soon and the United States gradually joined the British economic war system.
