I believe Woodrow Wilson's statement of neutrality prior to WW1 was similar to Washington's Proclamation of Neutrality because both wanted neutrality with the countries in Europe to avoid conflict.
The Proclamation of Neutrality summary- There is a state of war between the powers of Austria, Prussia, Sardinia, Great Britain, the United Netherlands and France, and it would be in the best interest of the United States to become friendly and impartial or neutral with these countries. To make this happen the United States will act towards these countries or powers respectfully and to warn its citizens to avoid anything that may ruin these relationships. To make sure the citizens abide by these rules, they will be punished if they do anything to ruin relations with the powers. The proclamation was written by George Washington in Philadelphia and finished on April 22nd in 1793.
