The Neutrality Acts were a series of acts passed by the US Congress in 1935 1936 1937 and 1939 in response to the growing threats and wars that led to World War II. They were spurred by the growth in isolationism and non-interventionism in the US following the US joining World War I and they sought to ensure that the US would not become entangled again in foreign conflicts. The legacy of the Neutrality Acts is widely regarded as having been generally negative since they made no distinction between aggressor and victim treating both equally as belligerents and limited the US government's ability to aid Britain and France against Nazi Germany. The Acts were largely repealed in 1941 in the face of the Lend-Lease Act. As noted by the Chairman "It is universally agreed by international lawyers that there should be no substantial change in the laws of a neutral as affecting a belligerent after declared or undeclared war takes place. Among the witnesses and participants are Bernard Baruch Henry Stimson Hugh Johnson Walter Judd; Breckinridge Long George Wharton Pepper James Shotwell Charles Tansill Edmund Walsh Raymond Buell Bainbridge Colby Paul Revere Sentinels and Dorothy Thompson. In philosophy neutrality is the tendency to not take a side in a conflict physical or ideological which may not suggest neutral parties do not have a side or are not a side themselves. In colloquial use neutral can be synonymous with unbiased. However bias is a favoritism for one side distinct from the tendency to act on that favoritism. Neutrality is distinct though not exclusive from apathy ignorance indifference doublethink equality agreement and objectivity. Apathy and indifference each imply a level of carelessness about a subject though a person exhibiting neutrality may feel bias on a subject but choose not to act on it. A neutral person can also be well-informed on a subject and therefore need not be ignorant. Since they can be biased a neutral person need not feature doublethink i.e. accepting both sides as correct equality i.e. viewing both sides as equal or agreement a form of group decision-making; here it would require negotiating a solution on everyone's opinion including one's own which may not be unbiased. Objectivity suggests siding with the more reasonable position except journalistic objectivity where reasonableness is judged by some common basis between the sides such as logic thereby avoiding the problem of incommensurability. Neutrality implies tolerance regardless of how disagreeable deplorable or unusual a perspective might be. In moderation and mediation neutrality is often expected to make judgments or facilitate dialogue independent of any bias emphasizing on the process rather than the outcome. For example a neutral party is seen as a party with no or a fully disclosed conflict of interest in a conflict and is expected to operate as if it has no bias. Neutral parties are often perceived as more trustworthy reliable and safe.38 Alternative to acting without a bias the bias of neutrality itself is the expectation upon the Swiss government in armed neutrality and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in non-interventionism. The Oxford English Dictionary documents that by at least 1897 "neutral" meant applying the rules to the facts as in football "Neutral linesmen shall officiate in all games." In the Supreme Court decision Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System v. Southworth based on the United States Constitution's First Amendment the court decided some funding decisions should be made through a neutral viewpoint.

Best.-Nr. 11304Two nineteenth-century stereoview photographs of Congress Hall Saratoga Springs and the United States Senate Chamber circa 1860s-1870s preserve paired photographic views of two very different public environments: one associated with the federal government in Washington and the other with the expanding resort culture of Saratoga Springs New York. The Senate Chamber image records an interior of the U.S. Capitol during the period in which stereoscopic photography became a widely circulated means of visually experiencing important national sites; the U.S. House notes that Capitol stereoviews were popular souvenirs and common fixtures in middle-class parlors during the second half of the nineteenth century. The Saratoga view belongs to the visual culture of a resort community nationally known for its mineral springs hotels and leisure economy and a related Stereoscopic Gems of Saratoga Congress Hall image is preserved in the Library of Congress record. Together the photographs support research into nineteenth-century tourism architectural photography political space visual culture and the commercial circulation of stereoscopic imagery. Two stereoview cards. Circa 1860s-1870s. One sepia-toned stereoview identified as No. 530 depicts Congress Hall Saratoga Springs New York from the Stereoscopic Gems of Saratoga series; the card bears paired photographic images approximately 6 x 3 inches overall. The second sepia-toned stereoview depicts the United States Senate Chamber and is credited to J. F. Jarvis Stereoscopic Views. A comparable Senate Chamber view in the U.S. Senate Collection is attributed to John F. Jarvis and dated circa 1855-1875 while another Jarvis stereograph of a Senate interior held by the Library of Congress is dated circa 1875. Congress Hall was part of Saratoga Springs' nineteenth-century resort landscape and stereoscopic series devoted to Saratoga circulated views of its hotels springs and associated architecture to visitors and collectors. The pairing is particularly useful for examining how stereography made geographically distant civic and leisure spaces visually accessible to domestic audiences. The Capitol image situates viewers within the architectural environment of federal political power while the Saratoga image records a major resort setting from a period when Saratoga Springs was developing a national reputation as a destination for health recreation and elite social life. Because the precise publication dates of these specific cards are not supplied they should not be described definitively as Civil War-era without further evidence from the mounts or publisher imprints. Some surface soiling; otherwise no significant defects are noted. Very good. A complementary pair of nineteenth-century stereoviews documenting the visual culture of American government and resort tourism. unknown
