Hi,
I couldn’t understand but my friend Nimrod translated white as
Enemies lay siege from outside - we will fortify the walls from within!
Neither of us knew what Pedion Avoda פדיון עבודה is, maybe can be translated as Work Fund (in red it says Raise Work Fund gimel)- looking the terms up, it seems like a public works' fund if sorts - people who have work have to pay some of their salary to support those unemployed. This issue of ha-Tzofe from June 1939 mentions Pedion Avoda gimbal but don’t know if it’s the same.
