Yes,but US Columbia continued to press UK Columbia titles,up until they joined forces with Philips in 1953.

Also in 1923-4 Sterling essentially arranged for Col(UK) to take over
the failing US Columbia operation. As a result, when Col(UK) and the
Gramophone Company merged in 1931, they were forced to sell off the
US company...to Grigsby-Grunow, makers of the expensive Majestic
line of home radios. By 1934, G-G was also broke...and ARC acquired
US Columbia for a mere $70,000 (Herbert Berliner wanted to buy it,
but couldn't raise the 70 grand...!).
