Blueprints
Principles of Reconstruction
In this blueprint, William Temple, at the time of writing Archbishop of York in the Church of England, sketched an array of principles which in his view should guide post-war reconstruction. (Note that the United Kingdom was officially at war with Nazi Germany at this point, although the Battle of Britain would not be fought for another few months.) In his commentary on two of those principles, Temple details how Europe could build smaller regional federations of states as stepping stones toward a larger federation.
