Did Orwell ever use the phrase "State broken people"?

[jbsjbs]

I'm trying to find the original source for a quote that's been attributed to George Orwell. The phrase is "State-broken people". The context would be of a population that had been so thoroughly subjugated by the State that their collective will had been broken.

The concept of such a state-broken people is of course present in 1984, but not the phrase itself. Is anyone here familiar with its use in another Orwell work, or in his letters, or can you suggest any other resources where I might track it down?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

It's not one I recall, and I think I've read eevrything Orwell wrote, other than maybe some shopping lists.

Interesting that the only results from Google are your questions!
