Besides
ill-health,
Mr.
Bracken
also
gave
age
as
a
reason
for
his
retirement.
He
said:
"I
should
ask
that
the
responsibility
of
the
party's
leadership
be
placed
on
younger
shoulders
If
the
party
is
to
succeed
as
I
believe
it
can.
The
leader
must
accelerate
and
intensify
his
activities."
Mr.
Bracken
added
'
that
a
widely
representative
convention
should
be
called
at
the
earliest
possible
date
to
decide
on
a
new
leader
and
party
policy.
Mr.
Bracken
has
been
under
a
doctor's
care
for
some
time
although
he
has
been
able
to
continue
his
duties
as
leader.
He
was
chosen
head
of
the
party
at
a
convention
in
Winnipeg
in
December
1942.
Prime
Minister
W.
L.
Mackenzie
King
expressed
regret
at
Mr.
Bracken's
retirement.
