HERRIOT ESSAYS TO FORM CABINET BRIAND ABANDONS HIS ATTEMPT By Telegraph.—Press Association, copyright. Paris, June 18. In view of SI. Heriot’s refusal to join him, M. Briand has abandoned his attempt to form a Cabinet. President Doumergue summoned M. Herriot, who consented to form a Cabinet. M. Briand, on leaving the Elysee, said that M. Poincare had promised to co-operate in the formation of a large concentration Cabinet, but as the Radi-cal-Socialists refused to allow their president, M. Herriot, to co-operate, M. Herriot obviously should take over the task of Cabinet -making. M. Briand rejoiced at realising his dearest wish in recovering his liberty.—Reuter. HERRIOT FAILS IN TASK (Rec. June 21, 0.30 a.m.) Paris, June 20. M. Herriot has informed the President that he is unable to form a Cabinet owing to the difficulties encountered. M. Briand has been summoned again. —Reuter.
