it doesn't promise to hope for anything right now
Or 1." it doesn't raise our hopes about solving this problem ";
2."it doesn't looks quite well right now".

That\'s easy, just write: He said that it didn\'t promise to hope for anything related to this problem in 1921.
2."it doesn't looks quite well right now".
