Orwell’s Mr Jones – The Farmer
•In his 1945 Proposed Preface to Animal Farm Orwell wrote:
•“…it was considered equally proper to publicise famines when they happened in India and to conceal them when they happened in the Ukraine. And if this was true before the war, the intellectual atmosphere is certainly no better now.”

•Though readers of Orwell, including biographer David Taylor, believe this hypothesis relating to Gareth to be ‘plausible enough’, and that Orwell could not have written on the Holodomor with out knowledge of Gareth, it is almost ‘Orwellian’ in itself, that Orwell archives & papers contain no mention whatsoever of Gareth Jones!
