Was Big Brother Watching George Orwell?
You bet your bippy they were. And why? Well, for various reasons, but I bet the most salient and revealing of those comes from the document in question telling of his communist tendencies:

Well. Of course. They would have excellent reason to suspect him of all kinds of espionage and child-spanking then, as well.
