While some of the verbal attacks on Jews were more subtle others such as that of M. Oudendyk the Netherlands' Minister to Petrograd outright stated: ".I consider that the immediate suppression of Bolshevism is the greatest issue before the World not even excluding the war which is till raging and unless as above stated Bolshevism is nipped in the bud immediately it is bound to spread in one form or another over Europe and the whole World as it is organized and worked by Jews who have no nationality and whose one object is to destroy for their own ends the existing order of things." Also often discussed in the reports was the demise of the Romanov family. - "Miscellaneous. No. 13 1920. Interim Report of the Committee to Collect Information on Russia."
