BUENOS AIRES, May 21.-Fears

Following persistent rumors that

pudiate their agreement with
France and are insisting on hold
ing the port Of Alexandretta and
equal rights in the sector of the
Bagdad railway, travelling through
GaIicia, which the French had OBJ
tained.
Key 20 on fieIdst
This railway Is the key to the
Mesopotamian oil outlet. and to

them against the Greeks. thus

'Korfanty must remember the
