To solve this, we recall historical figures:

• John Hay was responsible for the Open Door policy toward China and supported the Panama Canal project.
• Henry Cabot Lodge was known for his role in foreign policy but not for these specific actions.
• William H. Seward is known for the Alaska purchase, not the Open Door policy or Panama Canal support.
• William McKinley was a president but not associated with creating the Open Door policy or leading Panama Canal support in the described way.
