Outside view of home of S. Kitano in Hsian, Manchuria. This house and furnishings had been left intact by Soviets and Chinese Communists. It was the only Japanese house seen by members of the Pauley Mission which had not been looted. The house was owned and occupied by the Japanese manager who was still in charge of the coal mine. The reason given for his not being molested was that he provided Soviet officers and soldiers with comfortable billets (the homes of former Japanese officials) and a Japanese girl for every Soviet.
