Herriot and his five Radical colleagues resigned from the Cabinet, whereupon M. Laval resigned. M. Laval refused M. Le Brun's invitation to form a new Cabinet, declaring that he had never sought oißce but had accepted it as a duty to the country. M. Bousson, the Chamber's president, also declined. M. Le Brun will continue to hold consultations with other political leaders to-day. M.
