INC ,IS3 Political Scorecard for 1931 Reveals Yfear of "Dope" Upsets By llyron Price (Chief of Bureau, The Associated . Press, Washington) WASHINGTON yp Hopeful that brighter skies will smile on 1032, the American government is turning Its back without regret on a year of tense endeavor and anxious vigil. Nationally, restless 1031 has been a time of political overturn, of so cial apprehension, of constant but tressing of public confidence against the ill winds of depression and un- , employment. i Internationally, the year's swift- moving tides of discontent have brought the United States ever nearer the center of affairs. At home and abroad, it has been ft year of pent-up, nervous tension. In Washington, for the first time' sinco the war period, sweeping measures of national policy ' have been inaugurated by the common consent of all political parties. So It was with the Hoover 'mora torium, perhaps the most spectacu lar of the president's effort for world stability. So it was with the emergency measures to release fro zen credits. So It was with the patient and zealous preparations to lead the world toward disarmament ln 1032. ''';:"" Hoover Meets lilffleultles Not all Mr. Hoover's policies, how ever, have received a slmilur re ception, on the whole, tho year saw his difficulties accumulate. After a scries of Republican up sets, a Democratic house took its place on Capitol hill. A mounting' treasury deficit impelled the admin istration to ask, on the eve of a presidential campaign for a tax in crease. ' . Determined White House efforts to keep appropriations down led to much Irritation and, in the cusp, of tho navy, kindled a high-blazing public controversy. The Republican tariff came under 'fire, and a battle developed against tho president's refusal to counte nance treasury payments to the un employed. Democratic Hopes Soar . With it all, however, the year saw Mr. Hoover's renomlnatlon become a foregone conclusion, at the same time that Democratic hopes of vic tory in 1032 were being fed by Dem ocratic sweeps In by-elections in far scattered sections. Convinced that American prosper ity never would return, in full meas ure until other nations stabilized their economics, President Hoover proposed In June to help the whole family of nations by letting Europe forget her reparations and war debt payments for a year. - The world was electrified, and a seriea of new discussions of ec onomic reconstruction revolved around Washington. Secretaries Mellon and Stlmson went abroad and were central fig ures at a seven-power financial con ference at London. Premier Laval of Prance and Foreign Minister Grand! of Italy visited the president here. When a conflict developed in Manchuria peace overtures were made by the League of Nations at 'Geneva, and for the first time an American representative sat in the league council and entered Its de bates.
