is she at list of Ellisisland?
for 1921 there is stated a Margaret Gruber from "Birik", Slovakia. think there is a misspelling of the town-name and also is not correct slavic but sounds similar to your Bereg....she was 27 and and married and with her came also a Margaret age 1. both to find at list for M. Gruber at Nr.30 and 31.

also a 3rd person is stated, but not easy to find in the long Gruber-list, as on the ship-manifest is no first- and lastname stated. they went to brother Sebastian Gruber, 4500 Indiana Ave. in Chicago. as Margaret, line 4 (baby line 6) is married and not to see who is the first at line 4 think this person must be a brother -in-law of her.
my guess would be, that this child must be the person you are looking for, or not?
so my question is if you are sure about Jugoslavia? no idea if anything would fit i found and not sure if Bereg now in hungary is meant. but think the persons must be yours.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bereg_County
Bereg is one of the oldest counties of the Hungary. In 1920 the Treaty of Trianon assigned most of the territory to Czechoslovakia. The southwestern part remained in Hungary (county Szatmár-Ugocsa-Bereg).

i just see that there is a big mistake at the passengerrecord - it states ethnicy jugoslavian, slovak.
a slovak is never and was never a jugoslavian. Jugoslavia is far away from the area! so if this persons your ancestors, so they were slovaks not "jugoslavians". :o)
little Margareta was 7 months old when she arrived at May 07, 1921 in N.Y. on ship "France" coming from the habour Le Havre in France. so must have been born nearly Oct.1920.

"In 1920 the Treaty of Trianon assigned most of the territory to Czechoslovakia"
read history of Czechoslovakia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czechoslovakia
Czechoslovakia was founded in October 1918 as one of the successor states of Austria-Hungary at the end of World War I. It consisted of the present day territories of the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Carpathian Ruthenia. Its territory included some of the most industrialized regions of the former Austria-Hungary. It was a multiethnic state. The original ethnic composition of the new state was 51% Czechs, 16% Slovaks, 22% Germans, 5% Hungarians and 4% Rusyns or Ruthenians.......
