 By this event not only has the need of developing judicial means instead of war to settle the incVit- able controversies between nations become more pressing, but it has be- come even more important to estah- fish and clarIfy the standards an1 rules of international conduct oy which such controversies can be pr2- vented or minimized," he continued. Never has there been q period in the worlds history when there was such an Imperative need for the de- Nclopmcnt of international law by an international court. Admitting freely all that must be accomplished towards this end by the quasi lc cgisativc action of international conferences which may meet to dis CuSS and agree upon international CompaCtS and codes. it is ncVcrthe- less 10 the judicial action of world court, passing upon the individual controversies which arise between nations, that we must look not only for the application and interpreta- tion of these compaCts and codes but for the flexible and intelligent development III this way Of all the subsidiary principles and detailed rules which will surely be found necessary in such application

 In discussing the question of ad- Visory opinions.
