We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

168 \(\Rightarrow\) 17
given by the following sequence of implications, with a reference to its direct proof:

Implication Reference
168 \(\Rightarrow\) 100 clear
100 \(\Rightarrow\) 9 On the existence of large sets of Dedekind cardinals, Tarski, A. 1965, Notices Amer. Math. Soc.
The Axiom of Choice, Jech, 1973b, page 162 problem 11.8
9 \(\Rightarrow\) 17 The independence of Ramsey's theorem, Kleinberg, E.M. 1969, J. Symbolic Logic

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

Howard-Rubin Number Statement
168:

Dual Cantor-Bernstein Theorem:\((\forall x) (\forall y)(|x| \le^*|y|\) and \(|y|\le^* |x|\) implies  \(|x| = |y|)\) .

100:

Weak Partition Principle:  For all sets \(x\) and \(y\), if \(x\precsim^* y\), then it is not the case that \(y\prec x\).

9:

Finite \(\Leftrightarrow\) Dedekind finite: \(W_{\aleph_{0}}\) Jech [1973b]: \(E(I,IV)\) Howard/Yorke [1989]): Every Dedekind finite set is finite.

17:

Ramsey's Theorem I: If \(A\) is an infinite set and the family of all 2 element subsets of \(A\) is partitioned into 2 sets \(X\) and \(Y\), then there is an infinite subset \(B\subseteq A\) such that all 2 element subsets of \(B\) belong to \(X\) or all 2 element subsets of \(B\) belong to \(Y\). (Also, see Form 325.), Jech [1973b], p 164 prob 11.20.
