1935 OBITUARY

  1. "Gareth Jones Murdered - Shot by his Kidnappers”. Berliner Tageblatt, obituary from 17th August 1935, by Paul Scheffer, Editor-in-Chief and close colleague of Gareth's, who was also banned from the USSR, for his anti-Stalin reporting in the late 1920s.  In 1938, he was accused in 'evidence' at the third (Bukharin) Moscow Show Trial, as being a German spymaster; responsible for organising Soviet grain sabotage .

 "Instead of independent minds inspired by genuine feeling, there appear more and more men of routine, crippled journalists of widely different stamp who shoot from behind safe cover, and thereby sacrifice their consciences."
