It was primarily intended to stop any spies from spying on the US, rather than allowing the US to spy on others
The Espionage Act was enacted in the United States on June 15, 1917, during World War I. It was largely the result of efforts by President Woodrow Wilson's administration to prevent interference with military operations and to protect national security. The legislation was introduced in Congress by Senator Claude Swanson and was supported by various government officials concerned about espionage and sabotage.
The League of Nations was a government formation resulting of the Treaty of Versailles during World War I. Congress rejected the Treaty of Versailles and reparations that Germany had to pay according to the treaty. Therefore the United States never joined the League of Nations.
