Explanation:

The Butler Committee, officially known as the Indian States Committee, was established in 1927 by the British Government to investigate and clarify the relationships between the British Indian government and the Indian princely states. Here's how each statement relates to the Butler Committee:

Correct - The committee was indeed established to investigate the nature of the relationship between the princely states and the paramount power, the British government.

Correct - The committee recommended that the paramountcy of the British Crown should remain supreme in princely states, and that it should adapt to the changing needs of time, which implies a sort of progressive development in those states.

Incorrect - Defining Central and Provincial Governments' jurisdictions was not a focus of the Butler Committee. This was more relevant to the Government of India Act and various other commissions and committees.

Incorrect - The Butler Committee did not deal with putting the national press under censorship. Issues of press censorship would have been addressed by other laws and ordinances, particularly during the Indian independence movement and the World Wars.

Thus, only statements 1 and 2 are correct concerning the Butler Committee of 1927.
