We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

20 \(\Rightarrow\) 418
given by the following sequence of implications, with a reference to its direct proof:

Implication Reference
20 \(\Rightarrow\) 101 Partition principles and infinite sums of cardinal numbers, Higasikawa, M. 1995, Notre Dame J. Formal Logic
101 \(\Rightarrow\) 40 On some weak forms of the axiom of choice in set theory, Pelc, A. 1978, Bull. Acad. Polon. Sci. S'er. Sci. Math. Astronom. Phys.
40 \(\Rightarrow\) 39 clear
39 \(\Rightarrow\) 8 clear
8 \(\Rightarrow\) 418 Metric spaces and the axiom of choice, De-la-Cruz-Hall-Howard-Keremedis-Rubin-2002A[2002A], Math. Logic Quart.

Here are the links and statements of the form equivalence classes referenced above:

Howard-Rubin Number Statement
20:

If \(\{A_{x}: x \in S \}\) and \(\{B_{x}: x \in  S\}\) are families  of pairwise disjoint sets and \( |A_{x}| = |B_{x}|\) for all \(x\in S\), then \(|\bigcup_{x\in S}A_{x}| = |\bigcup_{x\in S} B_{x}|\). Moore [1982] (1.4.12 and 1.7.8).

101:

Partition Principle:  If \(S\) is a partition of \(M\), then \(S \precsim M\).

40:

\(C(WO,\infty)\):  Every well orderable set of non-empty sets has a choice function. Moore, G. [1982], p 325.

39:

\(C(\aleph_{1},\infty)\): Every set \(A\) of non-empty sets such that \(\vert A\vert = \aleph_{1}\) has a choice function. Moore, G. [1982], p. 202.

8:

\(C(\aleph_{0},\infty)\):

418:

DUM(\(\aleph_0\)): The countable disjoint union of metrizable spaces is metrizable.
